Loving Mikayla Grace

So when I'm walking I play these mind games with myself. I do this to try and push myself to walk faster. As I was turning the second curve on my second lap I noticed someone a little ways behind me. So I sped up. Not long after that two runners passed me. But, I kept my pace. Then as I turned the fourth curve (there are a lot of curves) I notice that what I saw was not the runners, that there was in fact someone behind me. At that moment I tried to book it to keep ahead of her. I didn't want her to pass me. However, she was hot on my tail and it's a big tail to be following! I am very glad to inform you that I finished my lap and she did not catch me!

Today's walk was by far the hardest walk this past two weeks. I stretch before I walk and that usually helps, but today my right leg muscles hurt. I kept going thinking they would warm up and stop, but they didn't. As I came to the end of my first lap, they still hurt and I darn near just walked to the car and went home. BUT, then I gave myself one of my mom's good 'ol talkin' too. "Oh Laura, come on! Suck it up! You can do it! Fight through the pain!" And I kept going. I did two laps.

This afternoon the hubby and I are heading out of town. We are getting together with a bunch of out friends. I am going to have to really watch what I eat. I will also have to find some place where I can walk. I'm sure that won't be too hard. We're getting together in my old college town and I know I can go over to the student rec. They have a small outdoor track. Something is better than nothing!

HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND!!!
